Dual-credit programming presents opportunities for K–12 learners to explore the world of post-secondary education at Lethbridge College.
Dual-credit learning has many benefits for both K–12 and post-secondary institutions. Dual-credit offerings allow grade 10, 11, and 12 students to earn high school credits while learning in a post-secondary environment. These learning opportunities contribute to increased learner retention and high school completion rates and increased participation of young adults in post-secondary programs.
Lethbridge College has offered dual-credit options for several years. Recently, a collaboration with Zone 6 school divisions—including eight school divisions across Southern Alberta—has created an opportunity for Lethbridge College to re-envision administration, support, development, and delivery of dual-credit programming on a broader scale.
